During the SEC Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban was asked about some of the conversations he had with Brian Kelly about him taking the LSU job. Here's what he had to say.

Per The Tuscaloosa News:
quote:

“I told him that I thought he would do an outstanding job there and it’s certainly going to be challenging for us playing against,” Saban said. “They’ve always got good personnel and now they’ve got a really good coach. Not that they’ve not had great coaches in the past, but just a real challenging situation for us. But I’m sure he’ll do a great job there.”

"Get them to the 'ship. Get a par-raise then leverage that to get to the NFL. From the NFL you should be able to secure a long term job with a LSU rival to stick it to them"

And here's the thing, they still won 2 NCs with those incompetent HCs. Smh So, now they have a real HC, I say look out for ole LSU. It's too bad Miles and Orgeron weren't real master tasksman at HC like Kelly will be, I mean doing everything down to the detail. I say this because Miles and Orgeron eas certainly entertaining as hell!! Lol You never knew what they were gonna do next. ??

He saw O’s O face in his own house. He’s a million times a better coach than O ever was but The Boudin Boy will always have that notch on his belt.

Les and Ed beat Saban. Kelly has not. Not saying he won’t at some point, but he will have to for him to match the past two coaches and win the sec by year 3.

I bet he really thinks that Kelly’s a better Coach, but couldn’t come right out and say it!

I mean, he kinda did, before realizing what he said and having to back pedal. He ain't wrong though.

That is how you walk back the truth from an actual quotable comment
